The Cisco Networking Academy® program is designedto keep pace with the evolution of networking systems by

providing innovative curricula and educational tools that

help students understand the complexities of informa-

tion and communication technologies (ICTs). Within this

framework, the Cisco® Packet Tracer e-learning softwarewas developed to help Networking Academy students

gain practical networking technology skills in a rapidly

changing environment.

Cisco Packet TracerCisco Packet Tracer is a powerful netwo rk simulation

program that allows students to experiment with network 

behavior and ask “what if” questions. As an integral part

of the Networking Academy comprehensive learning

experience, Packet Tracer provides simulation, visualiza-

tion, authoring, assessment, and collaboration capabilitiesand facilitates the teaching and learning of complex

technology concepts.

Packet Tracer supplements physical equipment in the

classroom by allowing students to create a network withan almost unlimited number of devices, encouraging

practice, discovery, and troubleshooting. The simulation-

based learning environment helps students develop

21st century skills such as decision making, creative and

critical thinking, and problem solving.

Packet Tracer complements the Networking Academy

curricula, allowing instructors to easily teach and dem-onstrate complex technical concepts and networking

systems design. With Packet Tracer, instructors can

customize individual or multiuser activities, providinghands-on lessons for students that offer value and rel-

evance in their classrooms. Students can build, configure,and troubleshoot networks using virtual equipment and

simulated connections, alone or in collaboration with other

students. Most importantly, Packet Tracer helps students

and instructors create their own virtual “network worlds”for exploration, experimentation, and explanation of net-

working concepts and technologies.

Security, and can also be used to teach concepts fromITEssentialsandCiscoCCNP® courses

Cisco Networking AcademyIn partnership with schools and organizations around the

world, the Cisco Networking Academy program delivers

a comprehensive learning experience to help studentsdevelop ICT skills for entry-level career opportunities,

continuing education, and globally recognized career

certifications. The curricula also help students build 21 st

century skills such as collaboration and proble m solvingby encouraging practical application of knowledge

through hands-on activities and network simulations.

Networking Academy teaches ICT skills to students

from virtually every socioeconomic background and

region of the world. Students gain the skills needed to

pursue networking careers in a variety of industries suchas technology, healthcare, financial services, fashion,

entertainment, and more. Students also gain access to

a global support group, career developments tools, and

social networking resources to help them become archi-

tects of the human network.
